(previously known as Additional Meetings)

2018 AAR Annual Meeting • Denver, Colorado • November 17–20

Other Events (previously known as Additional Meetings) is the name given to events scheduled separately from the AAR and SBL programs. Examples of Other Events include receptions, editorial board and business meetings, and breakfast and lunch gatherings. Please note that with the exception of AAR RSOs and SBL Affiliates, AAR and SBL do not permit any Other Event sessions of a programmatic nature (i.e., scholarly panel or paper presentations) to occur during regular session times (Saturday through Monday, 9:00 am-11:30 am and 1:00 pm-6:30 pm) without special permission. This policy is to prevent any thematic conflicts between AAR and SBL sessions and Other Events.

Meeting fees are based on the schedule below, and are non-refundable. We have eight locations that we are utilizing for space this year in Denver: Colorado Convention Center, Crowne Plaza Downtown, Embassy Suites Downtown, Grand Hyatt, Hilton City Center, Hilton Garden Inn Downtown, Hyatt Regency Convention Center, and the Sheraton Downtown. Events will be scheduled in the location that we feel best suits your needs based on what we have available. You will be notified via email per the dates below when your event has been assigned, and will receive the name of the venue, room name, audiovisual contact, and catering contact and menu so that you may make your arrangements directly with the appropriate people.
